The nation is torn between the Communist regime, the Solidarity opposition movement and the imminent threat of Soviet invasion. In the midst of food scarcity and turbulent political upheaval, Karolina’s attempts to locate a missing first cousin entangle her in the fate of her brilliantly gifted student, Marek, the son of a duplicitous Communist official.
